Want to set up a timer for one camera

I have 4 cameras, all connected to a base station so that I can record locally. I want to set up the system so that one camera is disabled during the daytime, as I get lots of unwanted triggers and notifications on it. I've checked and only my doorbell and base station are listed, and when I select the base station, it wants to apply the schedule to all my cameras, which I don't want to do.

How to handle this depends on whether you see "Library" as a menu choice on the main screen, or "Feed".

If you see "Library", then you create a custom mode for the base. That mode would enable the three cameras you want to keep armed, and doesn't include a rule for the one want to disable. Let's call that mode "daytime".

Then you schedule "Daytime" for the hours you want that camera used, and "Armed" the rest of the time.

If you see "Feed", then you can't create a custom mode - you are limited to Arm Home, Arm Away, and Standby. But you can still edit either Arm Home or Arm Away to remove the rule for the camera you want to disarm. Then set up the schedule the same way.
